And this is what you see on passing through the gate and after a short walk through the wood. It is an old British village and when I say British that means Welsh because in those days we occupied most of what we now call Britain. It is uncertain how far this goes back in history but certainly it was here in the time of the Romans. The settlement covers about half an acre and this was taken from the north west corner. The perimeter wall is a double wall, the space between would have been filled with rubble but this would have been a farming settlement rather than a defensive stronghold.
